Pulled off another win

[wfahey]

In what could be called a "drifter" Lucky pulled off another win in the HCYC Tour de Canyon regatta. This is the first race of the 2010 season and guaratees Lucky a berth in the 2010 Master's Regatta in September. The winds were so light and variable that we tacked several times without changing the boat's heading. Just moved the 150 headsail from one side to the other and forced the battens to bow the opposite direction with a push on the sail from the deck.

Congratulations Bill! Way to go.

Good show, Paul Cayard is probably getting nervous. Larry Ellison may be calling you to drive his America's Cup contender, do you have any mulihull experience.

They say true racers are at their best in light air conditions, patience and concentration then become critical.

Congrats!

I will say that I detest really light air racing. I have been bloodied in snotty conditions, but I would rather that than race in light air.

I don't have the patience for it, I guess.

Duane,

I am with you on this. Light air is tough in an area with currents or tides when the thing that may keep you in the lead is your anchor. I would rather set a storm jib than an anchor during a race.

Here is the historical data for Saturday. You can see we had a little wind at noon when the race started and then it went to poop after that. :mad:
